Tuckett, a researcher in Florida, says the Brazilian detection “should be a wake-up call” for fish producers and natural resource managers in Brazil. But he suspects the transgenic fish will encounter predators as they move to larger bodies of water. And the animals’ bright colors will make...
This is the cause of crown gall and it works by inserting its own ring of DNA, called a plasmid, into the DNA of the plant. The plant then produces proteins based on the virulent DNA and also replicates the DNA. One of the common method was bombardment, putting the DNA on tiny micros...
Latest study of the University of Michigan (UM) found that the "open ports" of an internet communication mechanism in mobile devices are much more vulnerable to security breaches than previously thought. New book addresses how to rebuild Earth's soils A new book, by University of Washington (...
The spatial organization of genes within plant genomes can drive evolution of specialized metabolic pathways. Terpenoids are important specialized metabolites in plants with diverse adaptive functions that enable environmental interactions. Here, we repo
Moisture is an inherent constituent of air present across the world. The relative humidity varies with the change in temperature and climate specific to a region. In some regions of the world, there may be a relatively inadequate number of grains of moisture in the air in comparison with other...
